Chapter 1657
Adler said, "Just like Sophie mentioned, The Silent Shadows must have hidden Jenna in a place unknown to us. They are wary of us playing tricks, so they intend to exchange Jenna for the gemstone in our possession."
Listening to Adler's analysis, Sophie still felt something was off.
She frowned, and Harold, who noticed Sophie's expression, asked, "Do you have any thoughts?"
"Not exactly thoughts..." Sophie glanced at Adler, who was lying in bed, and said, "We've reviewed the Tredgold family's surveillance footage, but all we saw was Wesley putting a bag in the trunk. We never actually saw Jenna in the bag." Upon hearing this, everyone was momentarily stunned.
Sophie continued, "I think James wouldn't have told us those things without reason. He let us go, surely knowing there was a trap. Think about it, if The Silent Shadows people had taken Jenna, why didn't they contact us immediately or leave a note, suggesting we exchange the gemstone for Jenna? Instead, they waited for Adler to find out on his own, and then we took the initiative to approach them? Isn't that a bit too troublesome?"
Sophie was well aware of how much The Silent Shadows wanted the gemstone.
Since Jenna had already fallen into the hands of The Silent Shadows, they definitely wouldn't wait.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
However, the incident happened so suddenly, and with Adler's accident, they didn't have time to think it through.
Now, taking a moment to analyze, many actions of The Silent Shadows seemed irrational.
"You're right... Jenna isn't with Wesley."
Adler thought back carefully to the moment he saw Wesley today.
With his understanding of his father, if he truly had control of the situation, why wouldn't he let him see Jenna? Wouldn't that have given him better leverage?
But from beginning to end, Wesley was provoking him using Reece.
"But if Jenna isn't with Wesley, where could she be?"
Adler looked at Sophie, puzzled.
"If the person Wesley took in the surveillance video isn't Jenna, then logically, Jenna should have never left the Tredgold family's premises."
"Never left..."
Hearing Sophie's words, Adler seemed to have realized something. He immediately threw off the blankets, and as he was about to get out of bed, Sophie immediately said to William, "Stop him!"
"Me?"
William thought he had heard wrong.
If Harold couldn't stop this big guy, how could he possibly do it?
William gave up, and when Adler reached the door, Sophie glared at William, "Forget about your bonus this month!" "You really shouldn't say that, ma'am."
William's hand lightly tapped Adler's shoulder, and the next second, Adler collapsed to the ground as if in a trance. William looked at the tranquilizer dart in his hand, feeling a bit guilty, "Sorry, brother, but she offered too much!" Sophie looked at the sleeping Adler and said to Colby beside her, "He's injured, don't let him wander off. Let's go." "Alright."
Colby effortlessly lifted Adler and then placed him back on the bed.
Before leaving, Sophie instructed William to take care of Adler, and then the three of them drove towards the Tredgold family's residence.
At the entrance, the Tredgold
family's security guard saw Sophie and Colby returning and proactively stepped out of the security booth, saying, "Colby, Ms. Sophie, and Mr. Aldridge... What brings you here..."
